Movie Reviews

Salon - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirIts too-muchness is also the source of its power; I was absolutely never bored, and felt surprised when the movie ended. It's an amazing, baffling, thrilling and (for many, it would appear) irritating experience, and for my money the most beautiful and distinctive big-screen vision of the year.

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIt fascinates in the moment. It's getting from one moment to the next that is tricky. Surely this is one of the most ambitious films ever made.

Portland Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanIt has laser gun fights, forbidden love, and a rollicking group breakout from a fascistic old folks' home. What more could anyone want?

Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marc SavlovThis remarkable adaptation of the supposedly "unfilmable" novel by David Mitchell achieves near-perfection on virtually all levels.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 9/10 by Calvin WilsonSuperior filmmaking. Yes, it runs almost three hours - but you've probably seen 90-minute films that felt a lot longer.

The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Keith PhippsMeasured scene by scene, the film isn't always successful, and its transcendent moments make it easy to wish it could reach that elevated pitch more often. But Cloud Atlas is the sort of work where the big picture matters more than the details. It's an imperfect film of great daring and tremendous humanity, a work of many stories, but a singular achievement.

San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleDespite some weaknesses, a sense gradually emerges in this film- not just an idea, but a strong feeling mixed with an idea - about the dance of good and evil over time.

ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliTaken as little more than six disconnected shorts featuring the same group of players in different roles, Cloud Atlas works. It's entertaining and the manner in which it has been edited reduces one's tendency to lose patience with the less engaging stories.
